MASKS..


hey everyone..
this is the first post that i publish "unedited"..coz today i realised the value of originality..with every backspace key u press while typing ,i think u lose it...n manipulate urself..
today i read kindda "personal blog" of someone whom i thot i knew ...bt then while going through the posts..i was confused..i just read 3 entries(coz my practical mind scolded me fer peeping into someone's life)..but still those few lines..described the person in an all together different way..my outlook about d person totally changed...
all throughout we judge people by the way they talk.they language they use,the company they keep,the way they dress..all these factors build up an image of each person..n judging by that image,we decide whom to talk and knowingly or unknowingly we evn classify people,without even talking to them..some are labelled as "dangerous",some as"cheap",some as "selfish","show off","too simple","cunning"..bt today i realised how wrong it can get!
how easily one can mask himself!
n how easily we believe those masks!
a person may look so happy and carefree tht i somehow believe he has nvr been sad..bt the fact is that he is smiling to hold back his tears!
a person is always surrounded by friends..i believe he is lucky to have so many people to call his own..bt fact maybe..tht he is keeping company to ignore his loneliness..to find someone called "true friend"..
someone alwaz makes fun of people in relationships..i believe he can nvr get into one..bt d fact maybe that he is hiding d pain of his own broken heart..
someone maybe alwaz dressed impeccably..perfect as i may think his tastes to be!
bt jst to find him in ragged dresses at his home..
first impressions are so so deceptive sometimes..
and the image formed by those impressions makes us miss out some things..
each one of us uses a mask..at some phase or other..infront of some person or the other..to hide our originality..
but sometimes to discover d beauty behind that mask is a nice feeling..
even if god comes to us wearing a mask of devil..our first impression about it wud not let us give god a chance to prove himself!!but if sometimes we r lucky enough or may i call sensible enough to look beyond the mask..we may find a new person..n discover god!
even if someone keeps a high profile company..maybe she is still simple at heart..
even if someone seems to be very sweet n simple..maybe he is manipulating u..to use u in some way or other..
even if someone talks kiddish all day,maybe her inner self is mature to sort out gravest problems..
try to know the person..not the mask vch he choses to show u..dont judge things by what they appear to be!DONT make images about people without talking to them!!maybe the things turn out to be better than wt u thot..or evn if they are worse..bt still not fake!!

vl post soon.. keep smiling till then!!

  3. nice theme... relevant to the topic i guess.

    MASKS. (SPEECHLESS)
    really enjoyed this one, n yeah, up one with saumi : unedited rocks :)

    adding some more on "the topic" as far as my knowledge, behind every mask, a very interesting story or incredible experiences or truly divine imaginations(in case of kids) lies behind somewhere - the baggage...
    these masks are everywhere, some actually put on one to hide themselves, and some just put them to let others know that they are hiding something, for the cares they would get in the form of: "What happened?" or "Are you all right...?" etc...
    These masks might be kept for good. They can be used to keep the "SAFE DISTANCE" for one's individuality. The outer shell that provides us our own privacy, the world of true freedom...

  5. Commendable narration.
    We never know if the other person is really himself or an impostor. And usually, most of us believe the sight which could be fake!

  7. @ishita: i wonder how can anyone write everythng so perfect with absolute clarity of thoughts, and yet unedited!! i really appreciate this one... there r 2 kinds of masks that people wear: one type of mask is used to hide their short-comings and other is used to boast about their talent that never existed!
    infact, after reading this post, i recall the following lines from 'taare zameen par'....
    "Jo dikhta hai, humko lagta hai, hai.
    Aur jo nahi dikhta hai, humko lagta hai nahi hai
    Lekin kabhi kabhi jo dikhta hai, woh nahi hota
    Aur jo nahi dikhta woh hota hai..."
    this was misinterpretation of a hindi poem, but its very apt to the current scenario
